Are they the same if not what are the differences.

The 84-85 axle has an upper truss, the 79-83 does not.
That's it.

So all brakes, backing plates, and centerlink, are the same.

I have had both. I think the only difference besides the gusset is the length of the wheel studs.

84-85 have a full truss across the bottom 82-83 have a partial truss only goes half way across the bottom and 81 and older have no truss.

You can get a truss from Marlin, Sky or any number of places for around $30, so if somebody is sellin you one and asking more for the newer axle(which is usually how it goes) then buy the 83 axle and weld on the truss yourself.
